目前,对于圆柱电池单体而言,圆柱电池单体的壳体和端盖的焊接质量较差,不仅组装合格率较差,且组装成型后的圆柱电池单体存在一定的安全隐患。
发明内容
为此,本申请提出一种圆柱电池单体、电池以及用电装置,圆柱电池单体的壳体和端盖焊接质量良好,从而具有较高的安全性能。
本申请第一方面实施例提出一种圆柱电池单体,包括:壳体,所述壳体的沿第一方向的端部具有开口;端盖,覆盖于所述开口;其中,所述壳体包括侧壁,所述侧壁包括沿所述第一方向设置的第一壁部和第二壁部,所述第二壁部位于所述第一壁部的靠近所述开口的一侧,所述第二壁部的厚度大于所述第一壁部的厚度,所述第二壁部与所述端盖焊接连接。
本申请实施例的圆柱电池单体中,第二壁部与端盖焊接连接时,由于第二壁部的厚度大于第一壁部的厚度,使第二壁部的面向端盖的表面正对端盖的面积较大,从而壳体有足够的面积与端盖焊接连接,提高了壳体与端盖的焊接质量,提高了圆柱电池单体的组装合格率以及安全性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第二壁部具有第一表面,所述第一表面与所述端盖焊接连接,所述第一表面为所述壳体在所述第一方向上的一个端面。
在上述方案中,第一表面正对端盖的面积较大,从而有足够的面积与端盖焊接连接,提高了壳体与端盖的焊接质量。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述端盖包括本体部和边缘部,所述边缘部围绕所述本体部设置,所述边缘部的厚度小于所述本体部的厚度,所述边缘部与所述第一表面焊接连接,沿着所述第一方向,所述边缘部的外边缘的投影落入所述第一表面。
在上述方案中,沿着第一方向,边缘部的外边缘的投影落入第一表面,即边缘部的面向第一表面的表面与第一表面至少部分正对设置,实现第一表面与边缘部可靠焊接连接,提高了壳体与端盖的焊接质量。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第二壁部凸出于所述第一壁部的内表面。
在上述方案中,第二壁部凸出于第一壁部的内表面,不仅能够增加第二壁部的厚度,且能够减少第二壁部在同等厚度下凸出于第一壁部的外表面的程度,减小由于第二壁部的厚度增加所导致圆柱电池单体的外体积增大的程度,提高圆柱电池单体的能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第一壁部的外表面与所述第二壁部的外表面平齐。
在上述方案中,由于第一壁部的外表面与第二壁部的外表面平齐,在实现第二壁部的厚度大于第一壁部的厚度的同时不会增大圆柱电池单体的外体积,从而提高圆柱电池单体的能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第二壁部凸出于所述第一壁部的外表面。
在上述方案中,第二壁部凸出于第一壁部的外表面,不仅能够增加第二壁部的厚度,且能够减少第二壁部在同等厚度下凸出于第一壁部的内表面的程度,减小由于第二壁部的厚度增加所导致圆柱电池单体的开口变窄的程度,使电极组件易于放入壳体的内部,利于圆柱电池单体的组装过程。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第一壁部的内表面与所述第二壁部的内表面平齐。
在上述方案中,由于第一壁部的内表面与第二壁部的内表面平齐,在实现第二壁部的厚度大于第一壁部的厚度的同时维持圆柱电池单体原有的开口大小的外体积,使电极组件易于放入壳体的内部,利于圆柱电池单体的组装过程。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第二壁部包括基体部和过渡部,所述过渡部连接于所述基体部和所述第一壁部之间,沿背离所述基体部的方向,所述过渡部的厚度逐渐减小。
在上述方案中,从基体部朝向第一壁部的方向,过渡部的厚度逐渐减小,以实现壳体的基体部到第一壁部的厚度的缓和过渡,不仅使壳体的外表面和/或内表面圆滑延伸,降低壳体刮伤电极组件或者工作人员的可能性,还能够避免基体部和第一壁部的连接处由于厚度骤减而导致结构强度降低,从而使壳体的结构强度大致均匀,提高了圆柱电池单体的安全性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述基体部的外表面和所述过渡部的外表面平齐,所述过渡部的内表面相对于所述基体部的内表面倾斜设置。
在上述方案中,基体部的外表面和过渡部的外表面平齐,不会增大圆柱电池单体的外体积,能够提高圆柱电池单体的能量密度;过渡部的内表面相对于基体部的内表面倾斜设置,使壳体的内表面圆滑延伸,降低壳体刮伤电极组件的可能性,提高圆柱电池单体的安全性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第二壁部沿所述壳体的周向延伸一圈。
在上述方案中,由于在壳体的周向上第二壁部的厚度均大于第二壁部的厚度,能够使第二壁部的面向端盖的表面在壳体的周向上正对端盖的面积均较大,实现壳体与端盖在壳体的周向上的焊接质量均较好。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述第一壁部的厚度为H1,所述第二壁部的厚度为H2,满足0.01mm≤H2-H1≤1mm。
在上述方案中,第一壁部的厚度H1与第二壁部的厚度H2之间的关系满足上述范围,既能够增加第二壁部相对于第一壁部的厚度,使第二壁部与端盖可靠地焊接连接,又能够使第一壁部与第二壁部的连接处的厚度的变化范围较小,使壳体的结构强度比较均匀。
根据本申请的一些实施例,沿着所述第一方向,所述第二壁部的长度为L,满足1mm≤L≤10mm。
在上述方案中,第二壁部沿着第一方向的长度L满足上述范围,既在第一方向上具有足够的长度,降低第二壁部与端盖焊接过程发热而软化形变的可能性,还能够降低在第一方向上第二壁部与第一壁部的长度比,使壳体的总重量较薄,满足圆柱电池单体的轻量化要求。
根据本申请的一些实施例,所述圆柱电池单体还包括:电极组件,容纳于所述壳体的内部,所述电极组件的卷绕轴线沿所述第一方向延伸,所述第二壁部的内径为D1,所述电极组件的外径为D2,满足D1-D2≥0.1mm。

在本申请的描述中需要说明的是除非另有明确的规定和限定术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”、“附接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电池或镁离子电池等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体,箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体,未涂敷正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体,未涂敷负极活性物质层的负极集流体作负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
电池单体还包括集流构件和电能输出部,集流构件用于将电池单体的极耳和同极性的电能输出部电连接,以将电能从电极组件输送至电能输出部,经电能输出部输送至电池单体的外部,电能输出部可以为电极端子,也可以为电池单体的端盖或者壳体的底壁;多个电池单体之间通过汇流部件实现电连接,以实现多个电池单体的串联、并联或者混联。
相关技术中,电池单体的组装过程中,壳体与端盖焊接连接,由于壳体以及端盖不可避免地存在制造公差,壳体的开口边缘与端盖的边缘的轮廓可能存在偏差,导致端盖不能完全覆盖开口,导致壳体与端盖的焊接质量较差。在激光沿着壳体的周向移动的过程中,激光很有可能会射入壳体的内部,灼伤壳体内部的电极组件,可能会损坏电极组件,降低电池单体的安全性能。尤其对于圆柱电池单体而言,由于壳体的开口的圆度以及端盖的圆度为较难控制的参数,圆柱电池单体的壳体与端盖焊接不良的概率很高,导致圆柱电池单体的组装合格率和安全性能显著较低。
发明人经研究发现,壳体与端盖的焊接过程中,壳体与端盖需要足够的正对面积,才能够实现二者之间焊接良好。目前,在圆柱电池单体的轴线方向上,端盖的边缘部和壳体的开口之间具有间隙,激光射入该间隙中,以实现端盖与壳体的焊接连接。如果能够增加壳体与端盖在圆柱电池单体的轴线方向上的正对面积或者优化开口处的圆度,将能够显著增加壳体与端盖的焊接质量,提高圆柱电池单体的组装合格率和安全性能。
基于上述思路,本申请提出一种新的技术方案,壳体包括沿其轴线方向设置的第一壁部和第二壁部,第二壁部位于第一壁部的靠近开口的一侧,第二壁部的厚度大于第一壁部的厚度,第二 壁部与端盖焊接连接。由于壳体的靠近开口的部分厚度增加,一方面能够增加第二壁部与端盖正对的面积,为装配和制造提供更大的误差范围,另一方面能够增加壳体开口处的强度,提高圆柱电池单体壳体开口处的圆度优率,在提高壳体与端盖的焊接质量,提高圆柱电池单体的安全性能的同时,不占用电池内部容纳电极组件的空间,对电池的能量密度几乎没有影响。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例描述的圆柱电池单体可以直接对用电装置供电,也可以通过并联或者串联的方式形成电池,以电池的形式对各种用电装置供电。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例中描述的使用圆柱电池单体、电池模块或者电池所适用的用电装置可以为多种形式,例如,手机、便携式设备、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器、电动玩具和电动工具等等,例如,航天器包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等,电动玩具包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等,电动工具包括金属切削电动工具、研磨电动工具、装配电动工具和铁道用电动工具,例如,电钻、电动砂轮机、电动扳手、电动螺丝刀、电锤、冲击电钻、混凝土振动器和电刨。
本申请的实施例描述的圆柱电池单体以及电池不仅仅局限适用于上述所描述的用电装置,还可以适用于所有使用圆柱电池单体以及电池的用电装置,但为描述简洁,下述实施例均以电动汽车为例进行说明。

第一表面1151与端盖12正对设置的面积指的是,第一表面1151与端盖12在第一方向P上的投影彼此重合的面积。通过增加第二壁部115相对于第一壁部114的厚度,能够增加第一表面1151的面积,从而增加第一表面1151与端盖12正对设置的面积。
在上述方案中,第一表面1151正对端盖12的面积较大,从而有足够的面积与端盖12焊接连接,提高了壳体11与端盖12的焊接质量。
如图6所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,端盖12包括本体部121和边缘部122,边缘部122围绕本体部121设置,边缘部122的厚度H4小于本体部121的厚度H3,边缘部122与第一表面1151焊接连接,沿着第一方向P,边缘部122的外边缘的投影落入第一表面1151。
本体部121用于安装第一电能输出部14以及布置注液孔等,边缘部122用于与壳体11焊接连接。边缘部122具有沿着第一方向P面向第一表面1151的第二表面1221。沿着第一方向P,第一表面1151与第二表面1221之间的间隙为焊接区域116,激光射入间隙以通过焊剂将第一表面1151与第二表面1221焊接连接。
边缘部122的外边缘指的是,第二表面1221沿着第三方向Q的外轮廓,下称第二表面1221的外边缘;边缘部122的内边缘指的是,第二表面1221沿着第三方向Q的内轮廓,下称第二表面1221的内边缘。
沿着第一方向P,边缘部122的外边缘的投影落入第一表面1151指的是,第二表面1221的外边缘的投影落入第一表面1151。也就是说,第二表面1221的外边缘落入第一表面1151,第二表面1221的内边缘可以落入第一表面1151,也可以位于第一表面1151的内边缘的内侧。
可以理解的是,沿着第一方向P,第二表面1221的投影可以全部落入第一表面1151,也可以部分落入第一表面1151。例如,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二表面1221的外边缘和内边缘的投影均落入第一表面1151,本体部121的外周面为锥面,本体部121的外周面与开口112的内边缘卡接,以实现第一表面1151与第二表面1221在第一方向P上具有间隙;在本申请的另一些实施例中,由于制造公差的缘故,第一表面1151和第二表面1221的平面度较差,第一表面1151和第 二表面1221抵接时,第一表面1151和第二表面1221之间也可以局部存在间隙,第二表面1221仅有外边缘落入第一表面1151,第二表面1221的内边缘的投影也可以位于第一表面1151之外。
在本申请的一些实施例中,本体部121沿着第一方向P凸出于端盖12的面向壳体11的表面,端盖12的背离壳体11的表面平齐,本体部121的外周侧与开口112的内边缘抵接,以使端盖12覆盖开口112的同时实现第一表面1151和第二表面1221之间具有间隙。在其他实施例中,本体部121也可以凸出于端盖12的背离壳体11的表面,或者,本体部121的面向壳体11的一侧的内部具有凹部,以提高圆柱电池单体10的能量密度。
在上述方案中,沿着第一方向P,边缘部122的外边缘的投影落入第一表面1151,即边缘部122的面向第一表面1151的表面与第一表面1151至少部分正对设置,实现第一表面1151与边缘部122可靠焊接连接,提高了壳体11与端盖12的焊接质量。
在其他实施例中,也可以通过增加边缘部122在第二方向R上的长度,来增加第二表面1221的面积,进而增加第二表面1221与第一表面1151正对的面积,提高边缘部122与第二壁部115的焊接质量。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115凸出于第一壁部114的内表面。
如图5和图6所示,沿着第二方向R,第一壁部114的面向壳体11的内部的表面为第一内表面1141,面向壳体11的外部的表面为第一外表面1142,第二壁部115的面向壳体11的内部的表面为第二内表面1152,面向壳体11的外部的表面为第二外表面1153。
第二内表面1152凸出于第一内表面1141,即第二壁部115的内径小于第一壁部114的内径。第一外表面1142和第二外表面1153可以平齐,也可以不平齐。
第二内表面1152在第三方向Q上可以每处均凸出于第一内表面1141,也可以部分凸出于第一内表面1141。
在上述方案中,第二内表面1152凸出于第一内表面1141,不仅能够增加第二壁部115的厚度,且能够减少第二壁部115在同等厚度下第二外表面1153凸出于第一外表面1142的程度,减小由于第二壁部115的厚度增加所导致圆柱电池单体10的外体积增大的程度,提高圆柱电池单体10的能量密度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一壁部114的外表面与第二壁部115的外表面平齐。
如图6所示,具体而言,第一外表面1142与第二外表面1153平齐,即第一壁部114的外径与第二壁部115的外径相同。
在上述方案中,由于第一外表面1142与第二外表面1153平齐,在实现第二壁部115的厚度大于第一壁部114的厚度的同时不会增大圆柱电池单体10的外体积,从而提高圆柱电池单体10的能量密度。
图8示出的本申请的一些实施例的第三种形式的圆柱电池单体的壳体的局部结构示意图。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115凸出于第一壁部114的外表面。
如图8所示,具体而言,第二外表面1153凸出于第一外表面1142,即第二壁部115的外径大于第一壁部114的外径。第一内表面1141和第二内表面1152可以平齐,也可以不平齐。
在上述方案中,第二外表面1153凸出于第一外表面1142,不仅能够增加第二壁部115的厚度,且能够减少第二壁部115在同等厚度下凸出于第一壁部114的内表面的程度,减小由于第二壁部115的厚度增加所导致圆柱电池单体10的开口112变窄的程度,使电极组件13易于放入壳体11的内部,利于圆柱电池单体10的组装过程。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一壁部114的内表面与第二壁部115的内表面平齐。
如图8所示,具体而言,第一内表面1141与第二内表面1152平齐,即第一壁部114的内径与第二壁部115的内径相同。
在上述方案中,由于第一内表面1141与第二内表面1152平齐,在实现第二壁部115的厚度大于第一壁部114的厚度的同时维持圆柱电池单体10原有的开口112大小的外体积,使电极组件13易于放入壳体11的内部,利于圆柱电池单体10的组装过程。
图9示出的是本申请的一些实施例的第四种形式的圆柱电池单体的局部结构示意图。
如图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115包括基体部1154和过渡部1155,过渡部1155连接于基体部1154和第一壁部114之间,沿背离基体部1154的方向,过渡部1155的厚度逐渐减小。
也就是说,沿着第一方向P,过渡部1155分别具有第一端和第二端,第一端与基体部1154连接,第二端与第一壁部114连接,第一端的厚度H5=H2,第二端的厚度H5=H1。沿着第一端指向第二端的方向,H5由H2向H1变化。
可以理解的是,前述的第二壁部115的厚度H2指的是基体部1154的厚度,第二内表面1152和第二外表面1153指的也是基体部1154的面向壳体11内部的表面和面向壳体11外部的表面。
过渡部1155的面向壳体11内部的表面为第三内表面11551,面向壳体11外部的表面为第三外表面11552。过渡部1155沿着第一方向P的厚度变化可以通过第三内表面11551相对于第二内表面1152倾斜设置和/或第三外表面11552相对于第二外表面1153倾斜设置来实现。
在上述方案中,从基体部1154朝向第一壁部114的方向,过渡部1155的厚度逐渐减小,以实现壳体11的基体部1154到第一壁部114的厚度的缓和过渡,不仅使壳体11的外表面和/或内表面圆滑延伸,降低壳体11刮伤电极组件13或者工作人员的可能性,还能够避免基体部1154和第一壁部114的连接处由于厚度骤减而导致结构强度降低,从而使壳体11的结构强度大致均匀,提高了圆柱电池单体10的安全性能。
如图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,基体部1154的外表面和过渡部1155的外表面平齐,过渡部1155的内表面相对于基体部1154的内表面倾斜设置。
具体而言,第二外表面1153与第三外表面11552平齐,第三内表面11551相对于第二内表面1152倾斜设置,即过渡部1155的外径与基体部1154的外径相同,过渡部1155的内径大于基体部1154的内径。
第三内表面11551相对于第二内表面1152倾斜设置指的是,第二内表面1152凸出于第一内表面1141,沿着第一方向P,第三内表面11551的一端与第二内表面1152连接,另一端向沿着第二方向R指向壳体11外部的方向延伸,直至与第一内表面1141连接,即沿着从第一端11553指向第二端11554的方向,过渡部1155的内径逐渐增大。
在上述方案中,基体部1154的外表面和过渡部1155的外表面平齐,不会增大圆柱电池单体10的外体积,能够提高圆柱电池单体10的能量密度;过渡部1155的内表面相对于基体部1154的内表面倾斜设置,使壳体11的内表面圆滑延伸,降低壳体11刮伤电极组件13的可能性,提高圆柱电池单体10的安全性能。
如图5和图7所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115沿壳体11的周向(即第三方向Q)延伸一圈。
也就是说,第二壁部115为围绕壳体11的轴线方向(即第一方向P)的闭合的环形。
沿着第三方向Q,第二壁部115的厚度可以相同,也可以不相同。
在上述方案中,由于在壳体11的周向上第二壁部115的厚度均大于第二壁部115的厚度,能够使第二壁部115的面向端盖12的表面在壳体11的周向上正对端盖12的面积均较大,实现壳体11与端盖12在壳体11的周向上的焊接质量均较好。
如图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第一壁部114的厚度为H1,第二壁部115的厚度为H2,满足0.01mm≤H2-H1≤1mm。
也就是说,第二壁部115的厚度H2比第一壁部114的厚度H1厚0.01-1mm。
基于前述的第二壁部115包括基体部1154和过渡部1155的实施方式,将基体部1154的厚度作为第二壁部115的厚度。
H2-H1的最小值为0.1mm,最大值为1mm,例如,H2-H1的值可以为0.1mm、0.2mm、0.4mm、0.6mm、0.8mm、0.9mm等等,对于H2-H1的某一数值,第二壁部115的厚度和第一壁部114的厚度可以有多组数值。
例如,H1=0.5mm,H2=0.7mm,H2-H1=0.2mm;再例如,H1=0.3mm,H2=0.4mm,H2-H1=0.1mm;再例如,H1=0.8mm,H2=0.9mm,H2-H1=0.1mm;再例如,H1=0.3mm,H2=0.31mm,H2-H1=0.01mm;再例如,H1=0.3mm,H2=1.3mm,H2-H1=1mm等等。
在上述方案中,第一壁部114的厚度H1与第二壁部115的厚度H2之间的关系满足上述范围,既能够增加第二壁部115相对于第一壁部114的厚度,使第二壁部115与端盖12可靠地焊接连接,又能够使第一壁部114与第二壁部115的连接处的厚度的变化范围较小,使壳体11的结构强度比较均匀。
如图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,沿着第一方向P,第二壁部115的长度为L,满足1mm≤L≤10mm。
基于前述的第二壁部115包括基体部1154和过渡部1155的实施方式,将基体部1154的长度作为第二壁部115的长度。
例如,L=1mm、3mm、5mm、6mm、7mm、9mm、10mm等。
在上述方案中,第二壁部115沿着第一方向P的长度L满足上述范围,既在第一方向P上具有足够的长度,降低第二壁部115与端盖12焊接过程发热而软化形变的可能性,还能够降低在第一方向P上第二壁部115与第一壁部114的长度比,使壳体11的总重量较薄,满足圆柱电池单体10的轻量化要求。
图10示出的是本申请的一些实施例的圆柱电池单体中体现第二壁部的内径与电极组件的外径关系的示意图。
如图5和图10所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,圆柱电池单体10还包括电极组件13,容纳于壳体11的内部,电极组件13的卷绕轴线沿第一方向P延伸,第二壁部115的内径为D1,电极组件13的外径为D2,满足D1-D2≥0.1mm。
基于前述的第二壁部115包括基体部1154和过渡部1155的实施方式,将基体部1154的内径作为第二壁部115的内径(如图9所示)。
电极组件13的外径为D2指的是,电极组件13在亏电状态下所具有的外径值,也就是在未充电膨胀时所具有的外径值。
例如,D1-D2的值可以为0.1mm、0.3mm、0.5mm、0.7mm、0.9mm、1.2mm、1.5mm、2.5mm、4mm、6mm等等。
作为一种优选的实施方式,0.1mm≤D1-D2≤4mm,不仅易于电极组件13从开口112顺利放入壳体11的内部,且能够使电极组件13与侧壁111的内表面之间的间隙较小,降低电极组件13在第二方向R上的晃动幅度,使圆柱电池单体10内部结构紧凑,能量密度较高。需要提到的是,在垂直于第一方向P的平面上,集流构件15的投影应落入电极组件13的投影,以保证圆柱电池单体10的安全性能。
在上述方案中,第二壁部115的内径D1与电极组件13的外径D2的关系满足上述范围,利于电极组件13从开口112顺利地放入壳体11的内部,利于圆柱电池单体10的组装过程。
在本申请的一些实施例中,开口形成于壳体11沿第一方向P相对的两端,第二壁部115设置有两个,两个第二壁部115位于第一壁部114的两侧,端盖设置有两个,端盖与开口一一对应。
如图3和图4所示,具体而言,两个开口分别为第一开口1121和第二开口1122,第一开口 1121和第二开口1122分别设置于侧壁111沿着第一方向P相对的两侧,两个端盖分别为第一端盖123和第二端盖124,第一端盖123覆盖第一开口1121且与同侧的第二壁部115焊接连接,第二端盖124覆盖第二开口1122且与同侧的第二壁部115焊接连接。可以理解的是,第一端盖123与同侧的第二壁部115的连接方式、第二端盖124与同侧的第二壁部115的连接方式与前述的端盖设置有一个的实施方式中端盖12与第二壁部115的连接方式相同,在此不进一步赘述。
在上述方案中,壳体11沿着第一方向P的两端分别与第一端盖123和第二端盖124焊接连接,壳体11沿着第一方向P的两端分别设有一个第二壁部115,以提高第一端盖123和第二端盖124与壳体11的焊接质量。
本申请的一些实施例提出一种电池100,包括本申请实施例的圆柱电池单体10。
由于本申请实施例的圆柱电池单体10的特性,本申请实施例的电池100也具有较好的安全性能。
本申请的一些实施例提出一种用电装置,包括本申请实施例的电池100,电池100用于提供电能。
由于本申请实施例的电池100的特性,本申请实施例的用电装置也具有较好的安全性能。
图11示出的是本申请的一些实施例的圆柱电池单体中体现圆度不良的端盖与壳体连接的示意图;图12示出的是现有技术中体现圆度不良的端盖与壳体连接的示意图。
如图1至图12所示,本申请的一些实施例提出一种圆柱电池单体10,包括壳体11、端盖12和电极组件13,壳体11包括侧壁111和底壁113,沿着第一方向P,侧壁111的一侧具有开口112,另一侧通过底壁113封闭。进一步地,侧壁111沿着第一方向P具有第一壁部114和第二壁部115,第二壁部115靠近开口112设置,端盖12覆盖开口112时,第二壁部115与端盖12焊接连接。具体而言,端盖12包括本体部121和围绕本体部121周向延伸的边缘部122,第二壁部115的面向端盖12的一侧具有第一表面1151,边缘部122的面向第二壁部115的一侧具有第二表面1221,第一表面1151和第二表面1221沿着第一方向P大致平行设置且之间具有间隙。端盖12与壳体11焊接连接时,激光射入该间隙中,以将端盖12与壳体11焊接连接。
其中,第二壁部115的厚度H2大于第一壁部114的厚度H1,以使第二表面1221与第一表面1151在第一方向P上具有较大的正对面积。也就是说,在端盖12和壳体11的开口112处的圆度不良时,第一表面1151和第二表面1221在第一方向P上具有重叠的部分,端盖12能够完整覆盖开口112,不会在第一方向P上暴露出壳体11内部的空间,在壳体11与端盖12焊接连接的过程中,能够有效避免激光射入壳体11内部并灼伤电极组件13。
形成对比的是,现有技术中,壳体11的开口112处的厚度仍为H1,在端盖12圆度不良的情况下,端盖12不能完全覆盖壳体11的开口112,端盖12的边缘与开口112之间具有第一缝隙1156,暴露出壳体11内部的空间。
如图5所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,壳体11的一侧具有开口112,端盖12具有一个,第二壁部115设置有一个,一个第二壁部115与端盖12焊接连接;如图4所示,在本申请的另一些实施例中,壳体11的两侧分别具有第一开口1121和第二开口1122,端盖具有两个,分别为第一端盖123和第二端盖124,第二壁部115对应设置于两个,两个第二壁部115分别设置于第一壁部114的两侧。
如图6、图8和图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115可以通过朝内侧凸出和/或朝外凸出的方式实现其厚度大于第一壁部114的厚度。
如图9所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,第二壁部115包括沿第一方向P设置的基体部1154和过渡部1155,基体部1154和第一壁部114通过过渡部1155连接,基体部1154与端盖12焊接连接,过渡部1155实现基体部1154与第一壁部114的厚度变化的缓和过渡,以使壳体11的内表面和/或外表面圆滑过渡,且壳体11的结构强度比较均匀。基于该种实施方式,第二壁部115的尺寸参数指的是基体部1154的尺寸参数。
在本申请的一些实施例中,0.3mm≤H1≤2mm,0.01mm≤H2-H1≤1mm,1mm≤L≤10mm,D1-D2≥0.1mm。
作为一种示例性的实施例,壳体11的材质为铝,沿着第一方向P,壳体11的两端分别具有第一开口1121和第二开口1122,两个第二壁部115分别位于第一壁部114的两侧,H1=0.3mm,H2=0.4mm,L=5mm。
作为另一种示例性的实施例,壳体11的材质为铝,沿着第一方向P,壳体11的两端分别具有第一开口1121和第二开口1122,两个第二壁部115分别位于第一壁部114的两侧,H1=0.5mm,H2=0.7mm,L=6mm。
作为另一种示例性的实施例,壳体11的材质为钢,沿着第一方向P,壳体11的两端分别具有第一开口1121和第二开口1122,两个第二壁部115分别位于第一壁部114的两侧,H1=0.8mm,H2=0.9mm,L=10mm。
本申请实施例的圆柱电池单体10中,由于第二壁部115的厚度H2大于第一壁部114的厚度H1,能够有效降低焊接台阶,提升焊接效率以及增强焊缝强度,改善圆柱电池单体10由于圆度问题导致的焊接漏激光、偏焊、断焊、爆点等问题,提高圆柱电池单体10的安全性能。
需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例中的特征可以相互结合。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本申请,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
